That guy is an A-hole on the trail. Plain and simple. Glad to see he broke before he ran over some kid while running 40mph through a tight trail. Unfortunately it is very apparent he has way more money than brains so I'm sure his rig is fixed.

If I had that much power with that suspension setup I'd be doing the same stuff!

This ^^^ - soooo much roll cage so little brains in it. The cage won't help you when your noggin smacks the side of it. There should be some foam on the cage where it is closest to the driver's head too.

yal need to research before coming to conclusions.
If you notice many “comp” rigs are retired after a season or two of abuse, but these purpose built chassis hold up for years of violent “rock bouncing”
Rock Bouncers are built to be firm and stable. No, they probably wouldn’t work very well in the whoops racing KOH, but a drag car probably wouldn’t place very well at the Talledega 500 either! The name “rock bounce” is very fitting actually; on many of the trails in the south east they are too steep and slick to find any traction on the ledges and rock faces, so often times the only approach is a full throttle attempt to jump or “bounce” to the top of the ledges

I'll agree that there are times when brute power is needed.
